How the PARCC reports it

PARCC was a multistate assessment system built around the Common Core-era PARCC mathematics model content frameworks rather than a separate proprietary standards set. Its math structure is organized by grade/course and aligned to CCSS-M content categories and model content frameworks.

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Same-side interior angles measure (6x−5)°(6x-5)° and (4x+15)°(4x+15)°. What is the value of xx?

Same-side interior angles are supplementary: (6x−5)+(4x+15)=180(6x-5)+(4x+15)=180, so 10x+10=18010x+10=180 and x=17x=17.

Which transformation takes a line segment over a perpendicular bisector so that the segment maps directly onto itself?

A reflection is a rigid transformation that maps the points from a preimage, over a line of reflection, to the points of an image that are equidistant to the line. In this example, that line is the perpendicular bisector of a line segment from a point to its image, so the segment maps onto itself.

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A linear pair of adjacent angles measure (5x+10)°(5x+10)° and (3x+50)°(3x+50)°. What is the measure of the larger angle?

A linear pair is supplementary: (5x+10)+(3x+50)=180(5x+10)+(3x+50)=180, so 8x+60=1808x+60=180 and x=15x=15. The angles are 85°85° and 95°95°, so the larger is 95°95°.

Which transformation turns a figure 80∘80^{\circ} around a fixed point so that all points remain equidistant from that point?

A rotation is a rigid transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called a center of rotation, by a specific angle in a specific direction. All points remain equidistant from the center of rotation, keeping the image congruent to the preimage. In this example, that angle is 80∘.80^{\circ}\textsf{.}

In isosceles △DEF\triangle DEF, the vertex angle measures (4x+10)°(4x+10)° and each base angle measures (65−x)°(65-x)°. What is the measure of each base angle?

The three angles sum to 180°180°: 2(65−x)+(4x+10)=1802(65-x)+(4x+10)=180, so 140+2x=180140+2x=180 and x=20x=20. Each base angle is 65−20=45°65-20=45°.

Which transformation moves every point of a figure exactly 66 cm in the same direction?

A translation is a rigid transformation that moves every point of a figure the exact same distance in the same direction. Since all points in the image remain equidistant from the points in the preimage, the figure remains congruent. In this example, that distance is 66 cm.

In △GHI\triangle GHI, m∠G=(2x+5)°m\angle G=(2x+5)°, m∠H=(3x+5)°m\angle H=(3x+5)°, and m∠I=(x+50)°m\angle I=(x+50)°. What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangle?

The angles sum to 180°180°: (2x+5)+(3x+5)+(x+50)=180(2x+5)+(3x+5)+(x+50)=180, so 6x+60=1806x+60=180 and x=20x=20. The angles are 45°45°, 65°65°, and 70°70°, so the largest is 70°70°.

Which transformation maps each point of a line segment over a perpendicular bisector so that they map onto the same line segment, keeping the image the same?

A reflection is a rigid transformation that maps the points from a preimage, over a line of reflection, to the points of an image that are equidistant to the line. In this example, that line is the perpendicular bisector of a line segment from a point to its image, so the points map onto the same line segment, keeping the image the same.
